Importing request module in python doesn't work on OS X

I have the requests module installed on my system.

pip install requests

Now I am trying to import requests in the rpel

import requests

It fails with the following error

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: No module named requests

I found a answer for this problem here, but it does't says anything about having python 2.x in same directory.

My terminal outs are :

MacBook-Pro:~ tanmaybaranwal$ which python

/usr/bin/python

MacBook-Pro:~ tanmaybaranwal$ which python2.6

/usr/bin/python2.6

MacBook-Pro:~ tanmaybaranwal$ which pip

/usr/local/bin/pip

MacBook-Pro:~ tanmaybaranwal$ sudo pip install python-firebase

    import requests
ImportError: No module named requests

Listing PIP modules also doesn't has any requests module.

With macos sonoma and python3.9+, this is what worked for me:


brew install --verbose --require-sha python-requests

To ensure that you're using the correct python to install something with pip, you can run it via -m

$ python -m pip install --user requests

(if you omit the --user flag then you may need root privileges)
